I have been having very low signal problems and very slow data connection all day as I have been traveling around my area...

On CM7...I was always getting high signal and at least 1.5mbs download...ever since I flashed back to TW and PBJ kernel, I barely get 1 to 2 bars and maybe 500-700k...

I just flashed PBJ 8/4 kernel...signal seems a bit stronger than on the newer kernel...tad faster also....I was thinking of going back to CM7 to see if my signal/speed improves...but with all of the SD frying problems they are having lately...yea, think I'll make due...

I wonder if trying a different modem would help..but I was using ED05 modem on CM7 and never had signal problems....hope it's not my hardware crapping out...again...
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Try out the EC09 modem. People have had better overall reports with it. Also try a *228 option 2, it might help.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
But ED05 is newer than EC09 and I had missed calls like crazy with EC09 the last time I used it while on ComRom...

Tried *228...have current PRL..
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Then I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe since ED05 has the missed call fix in the kernel, the EC09 modem will work better. However I'm not sure. Every Fascinate reacts differently to different software and modems as far as I'm concerned. Someone's phone might work great on DL09, while other phones on ED01, and other on EC09. And this could be affected by the differences in the OS, such as CM7 vs TW. You can try out AOSP again, but since I've heard of the problems with SD cards as well (reminds me of EC09 :eek:), maybe I wouldn't recommend it.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Just flashed EC09...signal more stable and better...but even slower speeds...won't even break 300k down or up..is ping supposed to be 869?

EDIT:...OK, I think the app I am using to test speed is messing up...just tried speedtest.net app...1.3mbps up... 0.72mbps down......going to try EC09 modem for a while...see how it goes..

If anyone wants to try out a theme, bigloof ported his theme over to PowerWashed ED05: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937990
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
FWI, just so you know. The missed call issues did not come from the modem, it is a kernel issue. With ED05 *Kernel* as far as I can tell the missed call issues have been resolved.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I'm not so sure about that. Wardscst who was singing praises of ED05 fixing his missed call problem is saying it's happening to him again.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Huh... I have not missed a call since running a ed05 based kernal... ed01-4 missed calls like crazy. There are 3 areas causing the missed call on the fascinate imo.

1) The deep sleep issue(the pbj kernal fixed that... well atleast for some)

2) Verizon's network

3) The fascinate has a ****ty antenna causing low signal. I found by removing the stock battery cover my signal went from -99db to -80-86db(but I know others that tried this and it didnt make a difference).

Overall tho Im really happy with this device. All phones have there issues, look in the general section and you will see people posting about missing thier old fascinates lol.... it's Mainly the folks that switched to thunderbolts and charges.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
i ll have to agree to this ,

with all other setups i was getting better signal and data speed with EC09 RADIO,

but when i used ec09 radio on stock rooted ed05 , aprt from slightly better signals there was no improvement whatsoever.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Ok..EC09 definitely seems more stable than ED05 as far as signal/speed on this rom..at least for my phone...too lazy to try ED04 or others..
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
OP Updated with a small patch for those interested. See changelog for what the patch changes.
[Fascinate Android Development] retepdgp:
So...

I finally decided to say goodbye to Evil Fascination, and I have to say, I'm really happy with this ROM. Great job ccampos784, it's also nice to see that damned Verizon animation gone! Haha :p
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Yep :p I'm planning to replace the animation with something else in the future (a custom PowerWashed animation maybe?) but I've been busy with some other stuff that might interest you guys in the future :o
[Fascinate Android Development] willenium_1217:
Thanks for the update. I am downloading now. Thanks for all your hard work. This is T N A!! Quick question though, if I already have the updated Google Maps and Go Launcher, will the patch do anything to my setup?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Nope, except change the Music app and the GPS configuration file, and the updated Youtube app.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I finally broke down and decided to try Powerwash 1.1. The only problem I'm having is the market keeps refusing to download large apps from the market. Once I uninstalled updates and let it update itself now it will let me. Otherwise it looks great!

Edit: tried another 20mb app and it is popping up again. It works for a few apps then all of a sudden comes up with the error. Any thoughts?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Try the older stock ed05 market that's in extras. Some people have issues with the new market.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Just did that and now it's working. Thanks.

Also is there a way to tell if you are running 1.1 versus 1.0?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Not really. It shouldn't really matter, the patch only updated a couple of apps, however one way to check is if you have Spare Parts installed, since the 1.1 patch installed that.
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Anyone having problem with camera freezing?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
What kernel are you running? The only time I've seen the camera freeze is using OTB.
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Using otb. PBJ seems to suck my battery. Any known fix?

Btw keep up the great work. This rom I have been using since you started and I have used it longer than any other.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Back in the times of Com Rom, I remember using PBJ just because of the camera issue. I believe trying out different versions might help the issue (heard OTB v1.3 is more stable then v1.6). Also try using deadline scheduler if you are not using it.

Also, this post seems to refer to the camera lockup issue. Found it in the OTB thread.

[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I noticed that it has the bootanimation.zip for the Nexus startup animation but it still boots to the stock Samsung/VZ screens. If I rename the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files, then it won't show any bootup animation at all. I'm still on stock ED05 kernel; is that why it's not seeing the custom boot animation?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Yea, the stock kernel has no Boot animation support. I'm not sure if you would want this, but times_infinity released a simple ED05 kernel based off of PB&J with no voodoo and all of that stuff. Might make a reasonable replacement for the stock kernel.

Can't get gps lock after flashing 1.1. How can I revert back? Do I flash v1 again?
[Fascinate Android Development] Skrazz:
Just a quick heads-up. OTB Reloaded 1.6 works with this rom AND boot to recovery option works as well.

Edit: lost a little stability with this combo... Jumped back to PB& J
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
alright, as i had said i have flashed the debloated V2 :)

works awesome

as i had a bit too much data so i left the DATA untouched and cleande the caches only before flashing :)

also the RECOVERY reboot option goes to recovery , so no issues there with me .

uninstalled the update for market asd i donno didnt like the new one , and it auotmatically got reverted to stock ed05 market :)

just one FC when i was using the quadrant standard app , thats nothing i guess

i am hoping it ll be great ( of course if i ll come across anything it will prolly be because of the DATA ;) )

again loads of love and thanks to CCampos , heaps of RESPECT mate.

Hardware Long Press Search Key Disabled?

Loving the ROM. I had been dabbling with MIUI and CM7, but after a recent train trip, I realized that I needed louder call volume (hopefully a Gingerbread source drop happens sometime soon!).

One minor issue/bug(?) I've discovered: I can't get the hardware long search button to activate (i.e., if I press and hold on the hardware search key, I get haptic feedback, but no option to select which app it will launch). Any suggestions? Is this a known bug? I have already done 2 fresh installs, both with the same result. I also searched through Manage Applications > Defaults, to see if something was blocking out the functionality, but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks for any guidance on this.
[Fascinate Android Development] randum0city:
I miss how a working fassy felt and I have that agan with Powerwash! Only weird thing is (and I don't know if its because of the rom) is that the phone stopped mounting data and every time I started her up the sexy voice would say, "not enough room on partition".

I ended up having to Odin up stock EB01 and atlas to repartition.. after I got cwm flashed again I installed PW1.1 with imnuts's 8/8 kernel. Works like a charm again. =]
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Getting poor gps lock on every iteration of this rom including the 1.1v patch. If I toggle the gps it will sit there for 10 minutes. So what I have to do is toggle GPS and restart the phone, when it boots gps locks in seconds. I use gps test to check lock.

Other than that this ROM is the best thing going for the Fascinate right now.
[Fascinate Android Development] lord dredd:
Ok two things

1.. I dont know if its the ed05 or what but whenevr I making a video there is flickering in it , which I noticed just you today, the last time I made a video I was on evil fascination and it wss in may , at that time th here was no such flickering.

2... Whenevr I make a nandroid backup the date shown is always 1 1 2000, I donno since when this started happening but this predates ed05.

What say folks
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
leave gps on then reboot the phone. Should work for ya, atleast it does for me. There seems to be a bug and it happens if you reboot your phone and gps is off, then turn gps on it will have a hard time locking in. Mine has been this way since ed01 Froyo.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
read my post above this.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
the dates are always off with cwm2.5.1.x, with cwm4 the dates should be correct. And the flickering has nothing to do with ed05, I just recorded a video and everything works as it should.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
For those of you having GPS issues, I reloaded the v1.1 patch with a different gps configuration file. Trying it right now and getting 10-foot accuracy inside my house using GPS Test, without messing around with GPS Aids. YMMV. Just redownload the v1.1 patch and reflash it. If it fixes it, then enjoy your working GPS :)
[Fascinate Android Development] djblu:
Was workong great then suddenly everything started force closing. Was on v1 final, pb&j kernal. First it was acore process, then framework, then phone & mealssaging failed regardless of app used. 4hours of attempts and the only way to get it to actually maolke calls was to odin back to stock ed05, and leave it on ed05. Any idea what might have happened?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Nice job ccompos... getting 25ft accuracy inside my house on google maps. Thats what I was getting before with gps booster, so no need for that ap now...yay!

Only minor issue now is:

-If I turn gps off, reboot, then turn gps back on, the satellite icon never locks.

-" " turn gps on, reboot, satellite icon locks in 5sec and accuracy is good.

I have had this issue since since ed01, not that big of a deal tho.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Not sure, never seen this before. I use it as well (obviously :p ) and I haven't seen a force close since the early betas. Did you have any mods or themes installed, and did you try wiping dalvik?
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Just tried the new gps.config file...works great..getting 7ft accuracy in my house...locked a tad quicker than the previous config in the org 1.1 patch...

I'm happy:D

Does this have the Samsung email app or the AOSP email? I really like the AOSP "select all" button when deleting... just wondering, thanks

After installing powerwashed rom, my phone is making annoying sound.

I been installing many different roms but this is my first time hearing this sound.

Whenever I receive a txt or any notification sounds, its making lagy sound.

Meaning it doesnt making a clear sound it lags. Any suggestions??

p.s.

Im using Powerwashed ED05 rom with v1.1 patch and using EC09 radio
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
No laggy sound here, just tried it out. What kernel are you running? And maybe try changing the notification sound?
[Fascinate Android Development] ksbc616:
Hmmm.....strange....Im using the kernel that comes with this rom which is PJ8/8

and also whenever I plug in the usb, it lags and making laggy sound too.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Will look into it. I noticed the USB lag but all my other notification sounds are fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] ksbc616:
Thank you Sir!!! I greatly appreciated!!
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Works good. Thanks for your continued great work on this rom.

[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
does the glitch kernel work with this??
[Fascinate Android Development] FDro:

[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
thanks just checking
[Fascinate Android Development] Skrazz:
For anybody having funky/random issues:

Backup your pertinent stuffs via Titanium Backup before you do anything! This is a full wipe process!

ODIN the stock ED05 found here. The file you're putting into PDA is called "CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar.md5". I used the .pit file too just to be thorough. You WILL have to use it if you're on any other filesystem (ie any non-stock GB roms).

fully boot to stock after this, then shut down, go back into your download mode (USB Plugged in, battery OUT, volume down button, which you already know since you used this in the initial ODINing of the stock ROM/Kernel).

flash your CWM Recovery in ODIN (i used version 2.5 for this since it's tried and true), go into recovery IMMEDIATELY after (as first power-up) using the Vol up+Vol down+Power buttons after you put your battery back in. flash your su/busybox root,**landshark68 mentioned you should be able to flash the kernel right after, in the same CWM session. If you do this, you won't need to follow the kernel flash instructions** do a boot and look for your "superuser" to know it took,

shut down, go into CWM Recovery again, wipe your cache (wipe data should not be necessary with this process), and flash your PB&J kernel, do a full boot,

shut down, back into CWM Recovery (which will be version 4 tied with the kernel), wipe cache and Dalvic, and NOW you are ready to flash PowerWashed in CWM Recovery.

This rom is an example of stability when installed cleanly and properly. These are the steps I have followed and only when I experimented with other non ED05 kernels did i run into issues. I apologize for any redundancy in this post but I felt it necessary to defend the work ccampos put into making this the latest/most functional Froyo incarnation we have.
[Fascinate Android Development] MSHancock:
fyi - Wasn't having any problems just a little slow to lock. I flashed the patch and I am getting a lock right away and a accuracy of 6 ft in the house. Nice work and thanks for what you have done with this.
[Fascinate Android Development] ecsnead69:
Any idea when the recovery option in the power options menu will be working?
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
flashed the updated patch and gps is even worse, it takes 10 minutes to get any kind of lock even after a restart. darn
[Fascinate Android Development] Skrazz:
The kernel needs to be modified to allow for it. If i were a braver soul, i'd look at the OTB kernel's source to see if i can spot the code that handles this function, and add it to the PB&J kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Just an news update: I've tried to look up the cause of the USB lag and I couldn't find anything. Not sure why it happens. As for updates to this ROM, I've been busy working on something else for the moment that you guys might end up liking :)
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Uhh, I'm not sure what could be wrong. Try downloading a new LTO file with GPS Aids from the market. The new GPS file has more settings then the old one, and it has worked well for me and some other people :)
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Does the USB lag happen on stock ED05 kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
I checked on a Fascinate with Stock ED05 software and there's no USB notification lag. It's not a big problem though, the lag is a small stutter when you plug in the phone to USB (which causes the notification sound to stutter). USB connection still operates at full speed. I also tried out the GeeWiz ROM to make sure if it wasn't the ROM and it happens there as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
:confused:I must say alot of knitpicking going on here lately...com on guys relax. the broken recovery in the power menu is not that big of a deal. Just reboot and 3 finger, thats what we use to do anyways!;)! The usb lag is no big deal either...and if your having random issues, its most likely install error.... This rom works great, so go back to stock and cry about bing&bloat if this rom is that bad:p
[Fascinate Android Development] randum0city:
Couldnt have said it better myself!
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
I agree as well :)

Well, I guess it's time to unveil this. Over the past couple days I've been busy trying to update the OTB kernel by nemesis2all to ED05, and I finally got it working. This is taken from the latest OTB source code available on nemesis's github, and I added in the ED05 fixes, times_infinity's attempt to fix missed calls, Voodoo Sound v10, and I fixed up Voodoo conversion for ED05 (since Voodoo device detection sorta breaks with ED05). If anyone wants to try it out then go ahead. I recommend not using CWM4 (like imnuts's Banana recovery) to flash this since the script has problems with it (try Odin'ing another recovery like this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?6x5utoca59et7o9). Other then that, this works fine on my phone, and it should on yours too :D

Remember, this isn't supported by nemesis2all (obviously) and this is a testing kernel.

Enjoy. And remember, if this helps you, don't thank me, thank nemesis2all, he deserves it more then me for this awesome kernel.

* This kernel is a Voodoo kernel. If you don't have a disable-lagfix file in your Voodoo folder on the SD Card, it will convert your partitions to Voodoo upon boot. *

[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Just wanted to tell everyone that this kernel is running great on my phone...OC to 1300mhz with everything under 800mhz UV -25...BLN and VoodooSound v10 working great...great battery life...

The power menu reboot to recovery works perfectly...

Only thing I have noticed is the CPU Governors...not sure how it was on OTB 1.6..but On-demand and Conservative seem reversed...On-demand stays mostly at low frequencies and Conservative cycles through all steps much more evenly...So stick with Conservative governor...

Thanks again ccampos784...
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Flashed this kernel and it seems to run well. Was using otb 1.3 without problem before. Looking forward to seeing how this performs. Good work. Thanks

Between the rom, the steel blue theme and this kernel this system is a keeper.
[Fascinate Android Development] djblu:
Okay, its taken me this long just to get this damn thing running. I went down to just the basics of basics, without restoraing any of my stuff, and still couldn't get it running. Odin'd back to stock ed05 and lost everything. None of backups will restore properly, I can't figure it out
[Fascinate Android Development] sfd0124:
Excellent work by the Dev for putting this together. No offense meant at him at all, but comments like these seem to underscore the work done over the last 6-8 months. I find Comm Rom to be near perfect and very full featured. Of course I don't have a missed call issue, so I'm lucky. Otherwise, EF & Comm Rom are great ROM's and what I plan to use for a long time. I just hope people don't forget the hard work of some very smart and selfless people who produced some very fine Roms/themes,

Again, no disrespect to Mr. Ccampos. I applaud you for picking up the reins and spending your time on this project. Way to go Sir!
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
if edo5 fixes the missed call issue, then by all means its the way to go for those who were experiencing it :)

comrom (and to an extent ef) were about as modded as touchwiz can get..but since those (well i cant speak for ef) are no longer currently updated then thats that

the only tsm members still with fascinates are andmer and sbrissen and neither have shown an interest in porting it

so powerwashed/other ed05 roms are going to remain the most current/functional (as it relates to inherent fixes in the base roms)
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
You cant jump from lets say evil fascinate/cwm3 to powerwash/cwmAll and expect your nandroid backups to work. If your bouncing back in forth from different roms alot, you should have your sd card backed up on a computer, titanium backup for apps, google sync for contacts. This will keep your data safe! Always wipe DATA,CACHE,DALVIK when changing roms.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
This rom is the latest incarnation and w/ no missed calls, it pretty much makes com rom obsolete imo...no disrespect to any of the devs, but it is what it is man! Why are you in this thread if EF& Com Rom are what u plan to use for a long time? Oh thats right... its a ghost town there:p

*Love the otb kernal cccompos!! Running 1.3 overclock getting 1730 quadrant...the fassy is blazing fast now! Good work upgrading it to ed05!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] jbr05ki:
I ODIN'd CWM Recovery ALL, wiped dalvik and cache, and installed the new kernal. When I restarted I got a bunch of FC's and my Go Launcher EX Settings got deleted.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
try fix permissions in cwm. if that dont work, wipe cache,dalvik and reinstall rom/kernal.
[Fascinate Android Development] Izeltokatl:
This kernel defaults to Voodoo on right? After flashing it, on 1st boot it set the lagfix/voodoo on. Not that I care, just wanted to make it obvious to others.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Yes, It does. Same as OTB 1.6.
